I'm trying to think of a pithy Instagram theme now...
Hopefully tomorrow the clear images !
I have another opinion for J20 First flight and Gates vist.
First .Showing it to Gates is not neccesary.F22 is much more capable than J20 , it is just like a cat want to sacre a tiger,not a good idea . Chinese leader is cautiously than almost all world leaders. So I think this can't be the message they want to express. but I also don't know what they want .
Second.Till now that J20 never come into screen officical ,even the CCTV just get the resourse from the NET.I think may be until 2020 this can't be happen .091 submarine was open to the public latest, it take almost 50 years later than it launched . Difference country has difference culture.China as a weaker keep some toys secret is not a bad choice.
As far as I know no news is good news,it meant everything is on the way .if suddenly break some news it must has trouble in some ways. J20 is a big plane it can't be hide .The new J20 is assembly for a long time so we will see it in the nearby.May be tomorrow.Who know![/QUOTE
The J-20 first flight during Gates visit was to counter Gates contention that the Chinese 5th gen wouldn't be a factor until well after 2020, and no China does not see itself as a cat trying to scare a tiger, they see themselves as young tigers, menacing a toothless, hairless has been, or soon to be has-been, (think SCAR of the Lionking).... Xi is not overly cautious, China's recent information crackdown, and "posturing" in very close proximity to the many disputed territories is proof that your hypothesis is flawed..... for further evidence I offer the East China Sea ADIZ. Certainly an aggressive move to counter perceived Japanese stepping up, sssssooooooo, now to address your contention that no news is good news, and pictures and news of progress are bad news.
If that were the case, why is Deino so happy with the latest blurry/fuzzy, kind computer messed with images? and why do other posters also seem excited?
Do you do that when you board an AmTrak? I'm pretty sure I heard quite a few accidents in the past few years.
since it's highly unlikely we'll be getting any more spy shots any time soon....
